You can go burn a CD and know that it would be the last time. Not only is it not yet dead, it is still pretty widely used.
I was just thinking "I need to burn some music CDs for when I travel", just in case.
I went on a car trip earlier this year, but forgot my bluetooth to aux adapter. I tried to buy one while I was on the road, but places were sold out, didn't carry them, or they only sold them via online orders.
As luck would have it, I still had some old CDs I'd burned 20ish years ago sitting in my glove compartment! I honestly did not expect them to work because they'd likely spent at least the last decade+ in that glove compartment, enduring extremes of heat and cold. They were scratched to hell and back and I had always heard that they degrade and become unreadable after a certain amount of time, even under ideal storage conditions.
Luckily for me, though, they mostly worked. I think there were a couple of songs on one disc that skipped a bunch, and everything else played fine. I rediscovered a few great songs from my youth that I'd not heard in so long that I'd practically forgotten about them.
I burnt about 100 disks last year as an offsite, nuclear resistant backup... though, if nuclear war broke out, that would be the least of my worries

My gen Z kids burn CDs - it's a "retro" thing for them. Literally burnt one last week.
I burned an Active Shooter video for work last week. I got a lot of spare discs. Might be a good way to store copies of everything the fascists are deleting.
I knew. I had been meaning to buy an aftermarket car stereo with USB and MP3 support for a long time. I was on my last blank CD, and had to decide then whether I would buy more CDs, or whether I would buy a new stereo that didn't need CDs.
I burned two DVDs yesterday. First time in almost a decade, but it made me wonder why I don’t do it more often. I still have 98 blank DVDs on a spool purchased years ago.

Burnt one recently for a profile backup on a terminated user.
I still store offsite backups on CD and DVD disks
DBAN baby!
